We are now one step closer to making that goal a reality.\u201d\n\nOperation ReBoot Outdoors is a nonprofit established in 2019 and has taken a science-backed approach to improving mental health treatment for veterans and law enforcement. It teaches new outdoor skills and hobbies and has developed a community of service members who continue to support each other outside of the program. Operation ReBoot has serviced more than 800 veterans and law enforcement as well as conducted more than 500 hunting missions and fishing trips.\n\nThe funding will be used to build an ADA-compliant guided outdoor healing center. This center will provide lodging, fishing, hunting, wilderness safety and first aid courses to veterans and law enforcement officers in the community.\n\nThe request on behalf of Operation ReBoot Outdoors was one of 15 awards from Golden\u2019s Community Project Funding (CPF) requests approved as part of the appropriations package. His $26 million in successful CPF requests was the most of any Democrat in Congress.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:32:04Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://golden.house.gov/media/press-releases/golden-delivers-770000-to-bolster-access-to-mental-health-treatment-for-veterans-law-enforcement-officers"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9196829050779343, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
